Great Wolf Lodge

Here are some shots from our little get-away in Kansas City. The lodge had everything fun for kids, from put put to an interactive video game just for Bennett. It was a nice short vacation.

My summer pictures

Here are a few from the last few weeks. I realized today that I've not taken too many shots this summer! I need to step it up and quit reading so much by the pool listening to the kids swim. ha!

The month of June for the most part was relaxing. We swam a lot! Bryant has really learned how to swim after lessons with Ian. We had a fellowship with our Sunday school class with over 30 kids swimming in the pool and Bryant acted like he was a big kid! Isn't little Owen just precious in the picture with his daddy! Doug started his shop in the backyard! yea! I am so happy for him to have a place to put all his tools. The garage just isn't cutting it, so he along with both of our dad's are working on it and hope to finish it in a few weeks. My neices came up to visit for a few days with mom and dad---that was so much fun. I didn't get one picture, though! Kerry, Amy and Becky came up to visit for a few days! I loved spending time with my friends. Too often I get in the mom, teacher, photographer mode and everything else goes.....but it was fun catching up and we had a housefull! July 4th slipped on us all, and the kids had a terrific time in Mena with the Conine kids. We skipped rocks, went on the slip and slide and made homeade ice cream. I love summer! We also got to help out Mrs. Beckman pick her potatoes! They had a blast and the potatoes were delicious! We had Bennett's birthday party so we could have a pool party. He had fun with friends from school and church. We barely got out of the pool before the big storm hit that knocked out our power for 24 hours! oh and Doug and Bennett with Daddy Doug went to Omaha to see the hogs play in the college world series. I haven't gotten the pics downloaded yet, so I'll add those later. Just reading this post makes me tired. Maybe June wasn't so relaxing after all?
